I posted this Here.

As I am based in MEL I would break the trip there and maybe LAX then NRT. Starting at CMB as Sri Lanka has the most cost effective DONEx price for OZ residents.

Using the oneWORLD validator It's coming up as 62,891 miles.

Prior to 25th May this shows 2360 SC's for A, 1820 for D & 520 for L.

After 25th May: 3090 in A, 2060 in D and 535 in L.

(a bit optomistic for an AONEx as I am not sure F is available on all sectors.)

I could do the same route with a different origin for a LONEx. Starting in SYD (with a cheap MEL-SYD return) I would break in LAX, HKG/NRT, then again MEL
